Drawing on her background as a youth welfare worker, massage and movement therapist, childcare professional and mother, she developed the Peuterbeweging method together with her daughter Nina Merkx, a childcare professional.
The essence of this method is that, for children aged 2 to 4, it is important that, in addition to moving, they also learn to ground themselves, relax, breathe and play outside.
Cora Merkx: “In the bustle of everyday life, we often forget to make space and allow time for these aspects, which reinforce one another. Peuterbeweging—the book and the method—helps you look differently at how the day is structured, both at home and in childcare. Thanks to the clear guidance, everyone who works with toddlers can support them in what they need, so that they can manage stress and grow into healthy adults.”
